• Define load cases, equipment loading limitations, and external load
requirements.
• Develop and manage stress analysis models (in-house or via specialist
consultants).
• Review results and modify designs to achieve compliance.
• Coordinate with design teams to ensure final layouts reflect analysed geometry
and support requirements.
Pipe Support Design
• Determine position and type of supports for critical and non-critical lines.
• Define support loads for structural and attachment design.
• Design pipe support attachments to meet loading requirements.
• Liaise with third parties impacted by pipework loading considerations.
Requisition Engineering
• Prepare and manage requisitions and subcontracts for piping materials,
services, and specialist items.
• Support procurement activities and vendor engagement as required.
• Supervise internal resources supporting requisition execution where applicable.
